Woah woah woah, are you suggesting workers don’t claim their tips?
In that case, increasing their wages will probably help the workers when they need to provide proof of income to qualify for things like a mortgage to get them out of the rental trap.
But I see your concern so I’d suggest perhaps maybe the courses could also offer things like extended heath benefits which won’t end up being taxed.
I’m not sure how much an increase in staff wages or benefits would impact the actual green fees or how much that increase would impact the ability of golfers to tip but since you made the argument that it will result in a(significant?) reduction in tipping I’ll assume you ran those numbers and let you share your data on that.
